What Is DUA The Mobster’s Aoud a Dupe Of?

DUA The Mobster’s Aoud is a clone of Roja Parfums Enigma Aoud PARFUM. That’s the original behind this pairing and the bottle to compare it with if you’re deciding which version of the scent to try.

What kind of scent is it going for?

Enigma Aoud is the reference here. Peach and flowers sit alongside oud, woods, vanilla and ambergris in the lists, giving you more to explore than a straight oud comparison. We’d compare the fruit and rose against those warmer ingredients. If the original interests you for that contrast, a sample is a useful way to follow it.

Both lists include Bergamot, Peach, May Rose, Ylang-Ylang and Geranium, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA The Mobster’s Aoud, also look for Agarwood. The original’s list also includes agarwood (oud).

What would we look for in a sample?

Try a similar amount of each on separate wrists and give them some time. Come back to both after the first burst has settled, then check them again later. We’d focus on the notes that made you interested in the pairing in the first place.
